Biggest opportunity: “capture”, “convertkit” and “email” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 57.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

In order to share information between Convertkit and your Gravity form, you MUST create a ConvertKit FORM and connect your Gravity form to it. So you are stuck with all the limitations of a Convertkit form. You cannot connect your Gravity form directly to a field in your Convertkit database. This makes no sense at all. Do not use Gravity forms if you are trying to improve the information that feeds into your Convertkit database. You have to manually map your Gravity form to the Convertkit form. It does not automatically populate the Gravity form with available fields from your Convertkit database. You can create better fields/questions in Gravity that are not connected to Convertkit and collect information that you can manually move over to Convertkit, but what is the point?

Easy to use. Although I don’t like that I have to make a form on ConvertKit when the form actually being used is through GravityForms. It seems a bit redundant and unnecessary.

It works. Never found it glitchy…grateful I can easily integrate gravity forms with convertkit.
